HUMIDITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
The wine cabinet is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity. If humidity
is too low, insert the small plastic reservoir on to the top shelf. Fill this reservoir 3/4 full with water.
Check the water level occasionally and refill as necessary.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should
be about two tablespoons of baking soda to one litre of water.
•
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the control panel, or any
electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe
dry with a clean soft cloth.
Power Failure
•
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of
your appliance if you minimise the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to
be off for a longer period of time, you need to take action to protect the contents.
Vacation Time
•
Short vacations:
Leave the wine cabinet operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long vacations:
If the wine cabinet will not be used for several months, remove all items and
disconnect. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mould growth,
leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).
Moving Your Wine Cabinet
•
Remove all bottles.
•
Securely tape down all shelves inside the cabinet.
•
Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
•
Tape the door shut.
•
Be sure the appliance stays secure and upright during transportation. Also protect the
outside of the wine cabinet. (e.g. with a blanket).
Energy Saving Tips
•
The wine cabinet should be located in the coolest area of a room, away from heat producing
appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
